Bubbles — Local services in Arcata

I made an online order, really can’t believe I’ve never been in here! I always shop bulk and refill containers whenever possible, but the Co-Op / ENF basically just have Doc Bronner’s for bulk cosmetics. Which is amazing, but I NEED moisturizer 🧴 and Bubbles is definitely the place to go! I ordered a giant thing of conditioner because I’m a cannabis worker, and no matter what hat / hairdo I try, my superfine white-girl hair dreads up on me EVERY harvest if I fail to use a crazy amount of conditioner daily. Bubbles has the perfect lightweight, non-greasy formula that leaves my hair light and soft. Most conditioners give my hair a greasy feel if I apply more than a tiny dab, but I can use Bubbles liberally to get all the sticky out of my hair, without worrying about looking oily after! The lilac scent is so lovely 🥰 I also got some shea butter cream. Between salty soils and constant handwashing, Sophic Sage’s “Hardworking Hands” had been my only salvation (it can be hard to track down) until now! The shea butter cream from Bubbles gives lasting moisture, I even use it on my lips and it is the most replenished my skin has felt!I can’t wait to come into the store for my refills 🙂 The delivery was super fast too! Very grateful to have a new go-to for hair &...

It is beyond thrilling to step into the kind of store you’ve always dreamed about!! This is my new one-stop-shopping locale for bath soaps & soaks, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and whatever else I can dream up with their mixologist… because the list of aromas that you can mix into your shampoo, conditioner, etc., is astounding, (BYOB!!)

AND: bulk liquid laundry detergent + bulk distilled white vinegar, hand sanitizer + body wash. And!! Bulk bubbles!! 🤗

I even found floating light-up flamingos and a bundle of mugwort during my first visit, most of which I spent swooning.

Bubbles has been in business for 52 years, which is rather amazing in...

Great small business! Placed an order online Monday, received it by Friday. They did a beautiful job assembling my gift basket, and tossed in some dried flowers. Handwritten 'thank you' on the receipt. Products are great and obviously made with love ;)

Only bit I would ask is to upgrade the website! It works, but to match the aesthetic of it's products I think that they could use an update :)

Thanks much for building a beautiful company with a wonderful product....
